Now with the introduction of the new Honda Activa 6G, Honda has once more raised the benchmarks in the scooter segment. This all new model receives smart features and has been tuned to provide a fuel efficiency of 68 KMPL, thus making it more appealing for daily commuters and city riders.
From contemporary LED headlamp, digital analogue meter, and a first-in-segment friction less silent start system, the Activa 6G is an amalgamation of premium and upmarket touch and feel combined with modern technology.
Honda said that it has engineered this masterpiece to be future-ready yet sensitive to the environment, fun to ride and practical, with the comfort that Indian riders look for. So without further adieu, let’s jump straight into what the all-new Activa 6G has to offer.
Stylish and Modern Design
The all-new Honda Activa 6G Revamped design is the first thing you’ll notice about the new Activa 6G. It retains the familiar Activa look but with some nice improvements that render it sharper, more contemporary and attractive. Body panels are smoothed, and the finish feels more upscale.
The scooter now also has added chrome accent to the front, which gives it a more premium appeal on the road. Another bold addition is the LED headlamp. Not only is it modern looking, but at night it lights better. Visibility during the day is better as well, enhancing the overall safety. The new tail lamp too adds to the look of the scooter, making it a looker from all sides.
Digital Display with Smart Information
According to Honda’s product update page for the Activa 6G, the scooter will now come with a semi-digital instrument cluster and not-said-before digital-analogue meters. Now riders have access to essential ride information, such as speed, fuel level, trip meter, and real-time fuel efficiency.
This digital display goes a long way in helping riders make informed choices while on the road and also makes the scooter look more contemporary. The display is also designed to be read in direct sunlight or even in the dark, according to Honda.
Powerful and Refined Engine
The Activa 6G draws power from a 109.51cc, single-cylinder, BS6-compliant engine that provides a refined performance. The engine is also modified to be used every day and is known to be very reliable and economical. Even more impressive is the quiet start system thanks to Honda’s ACG (Alternating Current Generator) starter motor.
It helps rid itself of the typical ignition noise and gives you a noise-free as well as premium feel in each ride. The engine churns out a power of 7.73 bhp and a torque of 8.90 Nm, which is ideal for city use. Be you heading towards work or just strolling around traffic, the Activa 6G is an absolute tension-free ride.
Mileage That Saves Money
The 68 KMPL mileage of the new model is one of the most boasted about upgrade it has. This remarkable mileage figure makes the Activa 6G one of the most fuel-efficient scooters in its segment. When fuel prices are going nowhere but up that’s quite a saving over the course of a month believe me.
Honda’s been able to hit these lofty numbers thanks to a better engine, advanced fuel injection, and improved aerodynamics. So while you have all this great performance, you’re not trading fuel economy for it.
Enhanced Comfort and Suspension
Honda is no stranger to offering comfortable ride quality and the Activa 6G is no different. The scooter now gets telescopic front suspension too, which is a big step up from the previous version’s spring-loaded arrangement. This suspension results in less bumpy rides and increased corner handling.
The longer seat and slightly higher wheelbase of the Standard motorcycle also helps offer more stability and comfort especially for two riders. No matter if you’re riding solo or two-up, the balance of the ride is there and it is not as tiring.
Smart Key Features and Convenience
To certainly make things easier on the rider, Honda has equipped the bike with several convenience oriented features. Also new to the Activa 6G is an engine start/stop switch that’s meant to save fuel during brief pauses. There’s even a pass light feature on it, which is a small touch but so useful in city riding.
The external fuel filling cap is a feature that’s most welcomed and now you don’t have to lift the seat to fill the tank. This is not only convenient but time efficient. It also includes a front glove box and an optional USB charger, so you can keep your mobile charged while on the road.
Better Tyres and Braking System
The Activa 6G features 12-inch front and 10-inch rear wheels for improved road grip and better stability. These also add to the closest road and paved road effect when it comes to the daily commute.
What about safety? On this front, Honda continues the CBS (Combi Brake System) where not only front, but the rear brake activates at the same time. With a shorter stopping distance and enhanced overall braking performance, your brakes will function more efficiently during an emergency.
Price and Availability
With all its new elements and updates, Honda has been able to retain the Activa 6G at a competitive price point. It comes in multiple models and its prices start at about ₹76,000 (ex-showroom).
